Buy within 21 days of your deposit

Ultima's deep-field camps in Antarctica's interior (e.g., Wolf's Fang) require evacuation by ski-equipped aircraft or long-range medevac. Pre-existing condition waivers typically require insurance purchase within 14-21 days of initial deposit. Insurance gaps can prevent boarding given the extreme remoteness.
